Kiss Goodbye (Part 4)
I lost a bet to him and I had to treat him to a movie of his choice.
I was betting with him that the script written by him will not work on the system. But damn, it worked like a toot toot train!!! That guy is seriously smart. And we watched Mr Bean in MidValley.
On our way to the cinema, in his brand new open-top BMW, he turned and said to me enthusiastically, "Do you know that you are the first girl to sit in this car?"
In that split second, our eyes met and my heart started to beat like a sky rocket. I didn't expect this at all. My icy + lion-guarded heart melted a bit-bit.
Nevertheless, the rational side of me still refused to be beguiled by his sweet nothing.
"I feel so flattered. Seriously. But I can bet with you that I won't be the last one either." I drawled sarcastically.
"Ouch!" He grimaced and I could see the hurt in his eyes. I can be such a heartless bitch at times. Sigh...
Yeah I know. I want to slap myself with a large trout too. I am so cold-hearted can die. But I need to remind myself LOUDLY that I must not fall in love with a playboy who changes cars faster than his own pants.
"Sweetie, my job requires me to travel a lot. And you know that. I don't have the luxury to stay in one place long enough to get myself a steady gf." He defended himself matter-of-factly.
"Yes, I understand. I never doubt your ability to become a wonderful bf and a generous lover. But I do trust my instinct as a woman that you won't make a good lifetime partner." I dismissed him stubbornly. Trying damn 9 7 hard to convince myself otherwise.
Instead of getting mad at me, he grinned cheekily and teased, "Try me. You will never know if you don't give it a go."
My brain went blank. And I was totally speechless after that. All I can remember for the rest of the date was Bean, Laugh, More Bean, More Laugh, More-more Bean and More-more Laugh agaaaain. KNNCCB. So the confusing and messy like the Belacan Fruits Salad a.k.a. The Rojak.
On our way back, he said to me, "This is my favorite song. Listen and pay attention to the lyrics."
KISS GOODBYE
Baby不要再哭泣
这一幕多么熟悉
紧握着你的手彼此都舍不得分离
每一次想开口但不如保持安静
给我一分钟专心
好好欣赏你的美
幸福搭配悲伤
痛是在我心交叉
挫折的眼泪不能测试爱的重量
付出的爱收不回
还欠你的我不能给
别把我心也带走
去跟随
每一次和你分开
深深的被你打败
每一次放弃你的温柔
痛苦难以释怀
每一次 kiss you goodbye
爱情的滋味此刻我终于最明白
----
但欠你的我不能给
我才明白爱最真实的滋味
我终于明白
In English:
Baby please don't cry again, this scene is so familiar
Holding your hands tight, we don't want to be separated
Everytime I want to say something, I choose silence instead
I need a minute to take in your beauty
Felicity is accompanied by sorrow
The hurt pierced through my heart
The tears of letdown cannot be compared with the power of love
The love I gave you cannot be taken back
The love I owed you I can give no more (I wish to give you more!)
Please don't take away my heart with you too
Everytime we say goodbye
I'm deeply defeated by you
Everytime I abandon your embrace
The hurt engraves into my heart
Everytime I kiss you goodbye
I learn the meaning of love
But the love I owed you I can give no more (I wish to give you more!)
I finally understand what true love is
Tears welled up in my eyes and I looked away. I took a deep breath and whispered softly, "Desmond, it won't work. I like you as a friend, AND, as a colleague only."
He nodded his head slightly. Disappointment spread across his face. A deep silence ensued.
I don't know why but the Lee Hom's song kept on playing itself over and over again in the car. The journey home seemed to have stretched on forever and ever. Just like the song. No ending. Re-playing. Stuck. And getting restless by the second.
